In my spirit I see an old-fashioned garden wall, like a lovely painting. There are climbing roses trailing over the top of the wall and flowers and tall grass growing up in front of the wall, undisturbed and tranquil in the morning light. What a serene picture...
In today's rushed world we owe it to ourselves to create a place of serenity... maybe not a garden but a place set apart where we can "escape" and reflect on the goodness of God, where we can become quiet enough to hear Him whisper, where our senses are fine-tuned to His beauty, where our focus is renewed and "clutter" falls away. This is so-o-o inviting...
For those who have never had a "garden" or a quiet place, I urge you to start now to create one... and return there often. Or maybe just take time to picture yourself in a garden... absorb it's fragrance and peace and healing. Receive of the goodness of God.
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28 KJV
